pabandi-e-izhaar ki lanat hi alag hai
khamosh zabanon ki hikayat hi alag hai

jo tum ne sitam dhae hain wo aur hain lekin
is dard-e-judai ki aziyyat hi alag hai

tum ne to adaon se bahut qatl kiye hain
andaz-e-taghaful ki qayamat hi alag hai

honton se to hote hain ada harf-e-mohabbat
aankhon ke ishaare ki wazahat hi alag hai

ta-hadd-e-nazar did ke qabil hain nazare
lekin tere didar ki hasrat hi alag hai

ishrat-kada-e-dahr mein kya kya nahin lekin
tere lab-o-rukhsar ki jannat hi alag hai

padhte hain bade shauq se arbab-e-adab bhi
'ajmal' tere ashaar ki nudrat hi alag hai
